Hi Everyone, All Well I Hope?

[Stemar 2]

I just wish to introduce myself to you all and the forum in general, I was a member of this forum some 2 years ago under the handle of Stemar, but after a lengthy period of getting BGL's of 5:7 to 6:5, plus the lose of just over 35 kilos I made the mistake of thinking I had beaten, or at least gotten control of my condition, but how wrong I was, as here I am some 18 months later and I find myself sleeping most of the time and my BGL's are in the 8:5's and 9:7's with the occasional mid teens, so I've returned with a new found respect of this condition. Also knowing that I'm in need of you the member's of this forum's help, not just for the short term, but for the long term as I now understand that this is going to be with me until the end and the best I can hope for are the tools and the understanding that I missed the last time I was here. So hopefully you wont hold it against me for being arrogant and a bit cocky in my understanding of the process needed too over come this condition, which I now know to be almost impossible, without the assistance this forum can provide with your advice and experiences, so again I ask for your advise and assistance, in my long term task to come to grips with the knowledge I'll need too succeed, Thanking You All!!!

Hey you are not alone! I struggled all of last year, after unrealistically feeling 'in control'. I had a terrible year, as my best friend died suddenly, then my father-in-law and a month later I almost lost my son, who had collapsed when his kidneys packed up, and was on life support with a grim prognosis. I couldn't have cared any less what went in my mouth and my BGL went up into the 10's and 11's (on the rare times I bothered to check) So I know your struggles and I do hope you get all the support you need.

Welcome back, you have done the hardest bit, you recognise where you went wrong and have courageously asked for help.

I don’t think anyone will hold anything against you, this is a journey we all have to travel, thankfully we don’t need to go on it alone, so I for one am happy to travel with you, good luck, take each day at a time and as someone here has said this isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon.
